The upcoming game Tsarevna combines elements of Slavic mythology and slasher genres, presenting combat through the art of ballet. Featuring motion capture from Bolshoi Ballet’s Alyona Kovalyova, the protagonist performs intricate dance moves that seamlessly translate into hack-and-slash combat. The teaser hints at players engaging with ancient deities while exploring a rich narrative centered on beauty and grief. With a third-person perspective, the game invites players to appreciate the elegance of dance amidst battle, set to launch on PC via Steam in 2026.
In Tsarevna, the Slavic myth-inspired slasher announced Wednesday, fighting battles is literally a dance - ballet, specifically.
The teaser video shows the eponymous protagonist stretching into a beautiful plié tendu back, arms reaching backwards in a cambré - and just as her arms reach, an attack befalls the enemy in front of her.
